Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information contained under the heading Item 8.01 Other Events below is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On March 14, 2019, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters, partially exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 400,000 shares (the “Option Shares”) of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s 5.850% Series K Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series K Preferred Stock”). On March 15, 2019, we completed the sale of the Option Shares to such underwriters for net proceeds of approximately $9.7 million after deducting the underwriting discount. The offering of the Series K Preferred Stock was made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 22, 2017 (Registration No. 333-220576), a base prospectus, dated September 22, 2017, included as part of the registration statement, and a prospectus supplement, dated March 4, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

In connection with the completion of the sale of Option Shares on March 15, 2019, Digital Realty Trust, L.P. issued to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. 400,000 of Digital Realty Trust, L.P.’s 5.850% Series K Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (the “Series K Preferred Units”) in exchange for Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s contribution to Digital Realty Trust, L.P. of the net proceeds from the sale of the Option Shares. The Series K Preferred Units have substantially similar rights, preferences and other privileges as the Series K Preferred Stock. Digital Realty Trust, L.P. issued the Series K Preferred Units to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
